This is no time to trade a conservative, constitutionalist-minded president for an old Rockefeller liberal.
We'll get more John Paul Stevenses appointed to Scotus, and then it'll be a liberal Court again.
They'll have to shoot me to keep me from hurrying to vote against Giuliani in a primary, and from getting all my conservative, pro-American, religious friends from doing the same.
We've finally got a chance to add another conservative justice to Scotus and give us a lasting conservative majority. Stevens or Ginsburg, one or both, are going to soon be gone. We want a true conservative as president to make those appointments: Allen, Frist, Gingrich, ....
Unless those three get their acts together, they'll never get a chance, as both McCain and Guliani seem to have the confidence of the rest of the GOP, at least at this point.
After the mid-terms, things will start to get serious. Campaign operatives will start to take jobs, and donors will start to line up behind the strong horses. If McCain and Guliani are still the leaders next year at this time, they'll be your realistic choices.
